When I get anxious I start to blush and then i start sweating on my forehead. It is terribly embarssing when it happens and i feel like an idiot. I am looking to find out if anybody else is having the same issues and if so what do they do when it starts?

Ew. Yes I do. Embarrassing. And then, of course, it makes the anxiety worse because then you know that there is something "wrong" with you. Er...not the best advice, but I just try and get the hell out of there as soon as possible so I can wipe my face! (I've taken to carrying those facial cleansing wipes everywhere; can't leave home without them.)

That is the thing it is impossible to hide. I used to carry a handkerchief with me everywhere but don't do that anymore. I attended a CBT group and i was told it was a safety behaviour so i stopped I used to leave the room or disappear when i started sweating but now i stay there but i still think everybody is watching me))) :O I used to go too meetings and i would sit there trying to make sure i didn't start sweating, if i did it was the worst thing ever. If anybody brought attention to the fact i was sweating i was out of there.

I hate being asked those kinds of questions by doctors because I really don't do anything! The psychologist said to me the other week, "You've managed to stay at school, so how did you cope? You must have done something." And I ended up in tears because I really don't have a way of coping with SA or any of my anxiety. Maybe subconsciously. I dunno. sconfused
